It would be well for all sportsmen to 

 study this list carefully, and to support 

 these men whenever they may come up for 

 re-election, or whenever they may seek any 

 other position of trust under the Govern- 

 ment. 



The 3 men whose names are printed in 

 italics are members of the League, and it is 

 safe to say a lot of the others -nil be within 

 a year. They have all felt its influence dur- 

 ing the campaign we have waged in behalf 

 of the Lacey Bill, and it is certain that 

 many of them will cast their lots with us in 

 the near future. 



THE LEAGUE APPRECIATES GOOD WORK 



At the annual meeting of the L. A. S., 

 Mr. H. E. Wadsworth, Secretary-Treasurer 

 of the Wyoming Division, reported that 

 Captain H. G. Nickerson, agent for the 

 Shoshane Indians in that State, who was 

 appointed in February, '98, had shown re- 

 markable firmness in dealing with the In- 

 dians under his charge. For a hundred 

 years it has been the custom among agents 

 to grant visiting permits to the red men 

 whenever asked for. Under these permits 

 a large party of Indians leaves the reserva- 

 tion, ostensibly to visit friends in some 

 other tribe. These permits have been used 

 simply as excuses for going into the game 

 countries and slaughtering game, in and 

 out of season. Ever since Captain Nicker- 

 son took charge of the Shoshane agency he 

 has been refusing such requests. In the 

 few cases where he has issued permits he 

 has taken occasion to see that they were 

 not abused. 



By pursuing this course he has earned 

 the gratitude of every friend ^f game pro- 

 tection and every lover of i-^ture ; and on 

 hearing Mr. Wadsworth's report, Mr. 

 Hornaday moved that a committee be ap- 

 poined to prepare a resolution of thanks to 

 Captain Nickerson. 



Mr. Anderson seconded the motion, and 

 a committee, consisting of these 2 gentle- 

 men and Mr. Wadsworth was appointed. 

 As a result of their labors, the testimonial 

 reproduced on page 26 of this Lsue of 

 Recreation was drawn up, engrossed, 

 signed, handsomely framed, and sent by 

 express to Captain Nickerson. It is hoped 

 he will appreciate it and that his children 

 and his grandchildren may find pleasure in 

 referring to it, and in knowing that their 

 illustrious ancestor knew how to deal with 

 game butchers. Furthermore, it is hoped 

 every T r> lian agent may learn a salutary 

 lesson fiom this officer's conduct
